ANY AND ALL ISSUES RELATING OR PERTAINING TO ARBITRATION OR THIS CLAUSE, INCLUDING THE THRESHOLD QUESTION OF ARBITRABILITY OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF THIS CLAUSE, SHALL BE DELEGATED TO THE ARBITRATOR SELECTED PURSUANT TO THIS CLAUSE.

Holder and Holder's belongings may be searched/screened upon entering the Stadium, and prohibited items may be confiscated, at the sole discretion of Management. Holder consents to such searches/screenings and waives any and all related claims. If Holder does not consent to such searches/screenings, Holder will be denied entry or ejected from the Stadium without refund. Further, Management reserves the right to refuse admission to or eject any person whose conduct, in Management’s sole discretion, violates these Terms, any applicable code of conduct, or is otherwise disorderly, without refund. Inappropriate behavior or abusive language may result in ejection (without refund or credit), forfeiture of season ticket privileges, and/or other legal action.

Certain price levels of tickets grant access to premium areas of the Stadium, including club level, and in some cases field access or access to hospitality areas not available except to those with access passes or credentials (“Premium Ticket Holders”). Premium Ticket Holders agree that under no circumstances shall they permit other individuals who are not Premium Ticket Holders to access the premium areas of the Stadium. Club and the Stadium reserve the right at any time to change, alter or amend any and all polices related to access, ingress/egress and behavior within Premium Ticket Holder areas, including as may arise on an event-by-event basis. Club makes no guarantee that all amenities in Premium Ticket Holder areas will be the same for every match.

Holder agrees not to create, transmit, display, distribute, exploit, misappropriate or sell (or aid in such activity) any description or account (in any form, whether text, data or visual, and including, play-by-play data) of the Event for any commercial, non-personal, purpose. Holder agrees not to create, transmit, display, distribute, exploit or sell (or aid in such activity) any photographs, images, videos, livestreams, audio or other form of display or public performance or reproduction of any portion of the Event (the “Works”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder agrees that by using this ticket to enter the Stadium or the surrounding area, Holder shall be deemed to have signed this ticket and granted Management an exclusive worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable, royalty-free license to all rights associated with the Works. Holder also grants irrevocable permission to Management, Soccer United Marketing, LLC and the MLS clubs (and each of their respective affiliates, sponsors, licensees, advertisers, broadcasters, designees, partners and agents) a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, publish, distribute, edit, modify and/or alter Holder’s image, likeness, voice, actions and statements in any medium including, any audio, video, film, photographs, social media, exhibition, transmission, publication or reproduction of the Event, in whole or in part, for any purpose without further authorization or compensation and waives all claims and potential claims relating to such use unless prohibited by law. All data collected by Club connected to purchase of this ticket shall be subject to the MLS Data Privacy and Security Policy (). Club may additionally use non-personal and non-personally identifiable information of a biographic or demographic nature as pooled with the same or similar data from other Ticket holders for purpose of analysis, to improve the service, systems and products offered by Club.

HOLDER VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES ALL RISKS, HAZARDS AND DANGERS arising from or relating in any way to the Event, whether occurring before, during or after the Event, including the risk of contracting a Communicable Disease (as defined below) or illness (including exposure to a bacteria, virus or other pathogen capable of causing a Communicable Disease or illness), the risk of physical injury or death, however caused, whether by players, by other people or by objects such as balls entering the spectator area, or otherwise, and the risks of lost, stolen or damaged property. Holder hereby waives all claims and potential claims relating to such risks, hazards and dangers.

Management is not responsible for, and may refuse to honor, any duplicate or duplicated, lost, stolen, destroyed or counterfeit tickets. Use of this ticket in violation of any law including, the unlawful resale or attempted resale of this ticket is strictly prohibited and will result in seizure, revocation and/or forfeiture of this license without refund or compensation. Any attempt by two or more persons to gain admission to a match or other event with both a cancelled ticket and a reissued ticket will constitute a material breach of the Terms. This ticket is not redeemable for cash and may not be used for, or in connection with, any commercial or trade purposes including, advertising, promotions, contests, sweepstakes, giveaways, gambling or gaming activities, without the express written consent Club and MLS. The refunding to Holder of the Face Value shall automatically terminate any rights that Holder may have hereunder.

THE EVENT DATE AND TIME (AND GATE OPENING) ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT CLUB’S SOLE DISCRETION, AND NO SUCH CHANGE SHALL ENTITLE HOLDER TO A REFUND OR OTHER REMEDY IF HOLDER CANNOT ATTEND OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON. HOLDER MAY BE RELOCATED IN CLUB’S SOLE DISCRETION, AND NO SUCH RELOCATION SHALL ENTITLE HOLDER TO A REFUND OR OTHER REMEDY IF HOLDER IS RELOCATED TO A SEAT OF COMPARABLE FACE VALUE. IN THE EVENT A MATCH IS CANCELED, RESCHEDULED OR RELOCATED, CLUB SHALL CONTACT YOU WITH INFORMATION ON THE RESCHEDULED DATE, TIME AND PLACE OF SUCH EVENT AND/OR ANY OTHER REMEDIES OFFERED BY CLUB. TICKETS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO ANY REFUND, UNLESS SPECIFIED BY CLUB, SHALL BEAR NO CASH VALUE, AND LICENSEE SHALL NOT EARN INTEREST ON FUNDS HELD BY CLUB.

Safety Requirements: Due to the uncertainty related to novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and any resulting disease and other communicable diseases (together, “Communicable Diseases”), this ticket and, this ticket and Holder’s admission to the Stadium are subject to all safety and health requirements and policies put in place by Management. Such policies and requirements as they may be updated from time to time (in the sole determination of the Management) and as they may be communicated to Holder prior to or during the Event (whether orally or in writing) by, for example, instruction provided by Management personnel or signage in or around the Stadium, are collectively referred to below as the “Safety Requirements”. Holder acknowledges and agrees to comply with the Safety Requirements (including all requirements that must be satisfied prior to or during the Event), and attendance at the Event is conditioned on such compliance.

General: Club 's and the opponent club's rosters, lineups, coaches and the venue and dates and times for each match and other event are all subject to change. The terms are severable. In the event any provision of the Terms are held illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and shall be inoperative and may be replaced or modified by Club with a similar term which complies with existing law. In such case, the remaining terms and conditions shall not be affected, and, provided that the fundamental terms and conditions of the Terms remain legal and enforceable, the remainder of the Terms shall remain operative and binding. The Terms may be amended from time to time in order to comply with MLS, and/or promoter rules regarding ticket purchases, postponements, and other guidance (collectively, “League Policies”). MLS reserves the right to issue amended and revised League Policies prior to the start of any MLS soccer season. Any amended and revised League Policies issued prior to the start of any MLS soccer season that conflict with these terms and conditions, shall be controlling.

THESE TERMS INCLUDE A DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION (INCLUDING AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER). IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT.

IF YOU ARE AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF AN INDIVIDUAL UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN (18) (“MINOR”), YOU ARE AGREEING TO LET THE MINOR ENGAGE IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACTIVITY; THAT, EVEN IF THE RELEASED PARTIES USE REASONABLE CARE IN PROVIDING THIS ACTIVITY, THERE IS A CHANCE THE MINOR MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BY PARTICIPATING IN THIS ACTIVITY BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN DANGERS INHERENT IN THE ACTIVITY WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED OR ELIMINATED; AND THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP THE MINOR’S RIGHT AND YOUR RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM THE RELEASED PARTIES IN A LAWSUIT FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, TO THE MINOR OR ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT RESULTS FROM THE RISKS THAT ARE A NATURAL PART OF THE ACTIVITY. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TEAM ENTITIES HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO LET YOU OR THE MINOR PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITY IF YOU DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM.

IN CONSIDERATION of being permitted to enter and remain at any stadium at which Chicago Fire Football Club plays, including all surrounding parking areas, pedestrian plazas, entryways, and other ancillary areas (collectively, the “Stadium”) for a home game or other event of Chicago Fire Football Club (“Event”), I, and if I am under the age of eighteen (18), my parent or legal guardian for themselves and on my behalf, on behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, executors, administrators, next of kin (collectively including minor children, “Related Persons”), hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:

1. Acknowledgments of Communicable Diseases and Other Risks. I fully understand that (a) the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and any resulting disease together with any mutation, adaptation, or variation thereof and other communicable diseases (together referred to herein as “Communicable Diseases”) may be extremely contagious diseases that can lead to severe illness and death, and there may be an inherent danger and risk of exposure to Communicable Diseases in any place where people are present; (b) no precautions, including the protocols that will be implemented from time to time by Chicago Fire Football Club, LLC and its affiliates (“CFFC”), the Stadium, operators of the Stadium, including the City of Chicago, Chicago Park District, Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, ASM Global, Village of Bridgeview and Ovations Food Services, L.P. (collectively, with CFFC, the “Team Entities”), Major League Soccer, L.L.C. (“MLS”), Soccer United Marketing, LLC (”SUM”), and/or third parties (including, but not limited to, federal and state governmental agencies) (collectively, the “Stadium Protocols”), can eliminate the risk of exposure to Communicable Diseases; (c) while people of all ages and health conditions can be and have been adversely affected by any Communicable Disease, according to public health authorities (i) people with certain underlying medical conditions are or may be especially vulnerable; and (ii) the risk of severe illness from the contraction of a Communicable Disease may increase with age, and contracting a Communicable Disease can result in the further transmission of a Communicable Disease to my spouse, family members, and other contacts; and (d) exposure to a Communicable Disease can result in being subject to quarantine requirements, illness, disability, other short-term and long-term health effects, and/or death, regardless of age or health condition.

In addition, I fully understand that incidental to my and any Related Person’s entry at the Stadium and attendance at the Event, I and my Related Persons may be engaging in activities that involve the risk of serious personal injury, illness, permanent disability, dismemberment, and death, and that such participation may also involve the risk of severe economic and property loss and damage. I understand that these risks may result from the actions, negligence and failure to act of myself and others (including but not limited to other individuals in attendance at the Stadium and the Released Parties as defined below) and from the condition of any property, facilities or equipment used. I also understand that there may be risks involved which are not known to me, my Related Persons or to the Released Parties and may not be foreseen or reasonably foreseeable by any of us at this time or at the time of the Event. I knowingly and voluntarily assume, on behalf of myself and my Related Persons, all of the foregoing risks, which risks may include, among other things, muscle injuries, broken bones, concussions and death, as well as the risk of any negligence by other participants or by the Released Parties, and the risk of injury caused by the condition of any property, facilities or equipment used during the Event, and accept personal responsibility for any injury (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, dismemberment and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind or nature, that I, my Related Persons or my property may suffer arising out of or in connection with my entry at the Stadium or attendance at the Event.

I ACCEPT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, LIABILITY, AND OTHER LOSSES THAT I OR ANY OF MY RELATED PERSONS MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING RISKS.

2. Release, Waiver of Liability, and Covenant Not to Sue. ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND EACH OF MY RELATED PERSONS, I HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, IRREVOCABLY, AND FOREVER RELEASE, WAIVE, AND DISCHARGE (AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE), EACH AND ALL OF THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM (OR WITH RESPECT TO) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, SUITS, CAUSES OF ACTION, AND CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES, WHETHER PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE, AND WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH MY OR MY RELATED PERSONS DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, SUFFERING OF SHORT-TERM OR LONG-TERM HEALTH EFFECTS, OR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, WHICH I OR ANY OF MY RELATED PERSONS MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER ACCRUE AGAINST ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES AS A RESULT OF OR THAT RELATE IN ANY WAY TO (I) OUR EXPOSURE TO ANY COMMUNICABLE DISEASE; (II) MY TRAVEL TO AND FROM, ENTRY INTO, OR PRESENCE WITHIN, THE STADIUM, ATTENDANCE AT THE EVENT, OR COMPLIANCE WITH THE STADIUM PROTOCOLS OR ANY OTHER POLICIES OR PROTOCOLS APPLICABLE TO THE STADIUM; (III) ANY INTERACTION BETWEEN MYSELF/US AND ANY PERSONNEL OF ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES PRESENT AT THE STADIUM (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY USHERS, TICKET-TAKERS, EVENT SECURITY, HEALTH AND SAFETY PERSONNEL, OR CLEANING, CONCESSIONS, OR PARKING PERSONNEL); OR (IV) ANY OF THE RISKS IDENTIFIED ABOVE, IN EACH CASE WHETHER CAUSED BY ANY ACTION, INACTION, OR NEGLIGENCE OF ANY RELEASED PARTY OR OTHERWISE.
